4. How can I safely reschedule an exam?

Use date and time (session) options to re-schedule examinations without causing conflicts. Once you generate a clash-free schedule, it runs through the back-to-back engine to minimize the number of students with back-to-back exams. You then get a finalized and published exam schedule.
